The Signature
The Signature is our aluminium dirt jump bike. It was built to meet the demands of our athletes at the sharp end of the dirt jump and slopestyle scene, and Marcel Hunt in particular was the catalyst. Like all of our products the Signature is built to last and has been put through the wringer on the development journey.
We see riders for the Signature and Monk as two different groups despite their obvious similarities. To see the benefits of the increased stiffness and geometry changes of the Signature you really need to be a ‘big set’ rider that frequently throws tricks. While the Monk is more than capable of this (see Dawson at Backwoods), its more casual and forgiving feel is better suited to those out for fun, and prefer a little more compliance when hitting features for the first time.
Simply put, the Signature is designed for riders focused on high-level technical tricks, where the responsiveness of the bike is crucial.
6066 T6
Making this frame from aluminium rather than our customary steel allowed us to create a frame that hits a far higher stiffness for the target weight while being more crash resistant than if a large diameter very thin wall steel tube was used. All materials have their strengths and limitations and for the unique demands of a hard charging dirt jump/slope bike aluminium makes the most sense.
The Signature takes many design cues from one of our longest running bikes, the monk.
key features
Your bike is special. The head tube badge is the finishing touch so we’ve always made a point of taking the time to do something interesting with it. Our head tube badges have changed over the years and are an indication of the time each bike was made.
Whether it’s a cast bronze, or polished stainless steel, water cut aluminum or a 3D CNC carving, each one represents our commitment to detail.
We've never tried to hide the fact some of our products are made in Taiwan, in fact, we're proud of it.
Our Taiwanese partners are incredibly skilled and some of the best in the business.
As you would expect, these products are held to the same strict standards that we're renowned for.
The Signature comes with holes in the headtube ready to accept gyro tabs.
If you like to throw the bars so much you run out of brake line, then having a gyro is essential.
The Signature comes with Gyro tabs and screws packed with your owners manual.
The Signature is designed and built for the abusive relationship expected of a hard charger.
Braced seat stays, custom chain stay yokes, head tube gusset, large weld interfaces at junctions and burly machined dropouts are just some of the design cues that indicate this bike means business.
Whether you get your bike in a box, or roll it out the front door here at Chromag HQ, you can rest assured your bike has been pored over with pride, and built with the utmost attention to detail by one of our extremely talented mechanics.
Threads are chased, seat tubes are reamed, head tubes are honed, fits are checked and checked again, all to make sure when you get your bike, everything is absolutely dialed.
Horizontal dropouts are a crucial part of a single sped setup, allowing you to tension your chain without the use of a derailleur.
Our built in chain tugs also allow you to dial in the chain tension, and keep it that way, even during mis-judged 360's and sideways landings.
If DJ is your main field, the Signature is the one for you
geometry
The Signature is fairly close to the Monk in geo, but differs in two key areas. The BB is higher on the Signature and the headtube is longer, both equating to feeling more "on" the bike than "in" the bike. This has a significant advantage when executing tricks like tailwhips and no-footed cans.

Sizing
The Signature has a very different fit to our other bikes (but is similar to the Monk).
It only really gets longer (not taller) as you go up in size, which is why they are labelled short, long (rather than small, medium, large).

FAQ's
A 2.2” Maxxis fits with appropriate room around it.
No, there are no ISCG mounts on the Signature.
All our frames can work with +/-10mm of fork travel. To generalise the geometry change is around a 0.5° slacker head tube and seat tube angle for every 10mm added.
We setup our complete Signature builds with a 52mm chain line.
With a 52mm chainline (SRAM boost standard), the Signature can fit up to a 34-tooth chainring.
There is a serial number on the back of your fork arch, adding this to Rockshox Trailhead app along with your weight gives a good baseline setting.
There are no compatibility issues that we are aware of.
Please let us know if you have tried to fit a more obscure component and faced issues.
Greasing you seat post prevents this issues, we strongly recommend re-greasing every 6 months at a minimum.
The Signature is shipped with the front wheel and handlebar removed, so there isn't much assembly required.
Here's what you should do:
- Fit your handlebar, ensure it is centrally spaced and rolled to your liking. Tighten the stem faceplate evenly to 6Nm.
- Fit front wheel.
- Inflate tyres to desired pressure.
- Grease pedal threads and install pedals using pedal washers supplied.
- Adjust brakes and saddle position and height for personal preference.
- Set up suspension.
- Bed-in brake(s). (Roll down a gentle gradient dragging one brake at a time. Avoid locking them up.)
- Go ride!
Note: If you had to Google "Nm", or you don't own a shock pump, you should probably get a qualified mechanic to build your bike!
Here's what's been done:
• Chain length adjusted.
• Brakes set up and bled.
• Handlebar tightened to 6Nm.
• Crankset tight, bottom bracket tight/adjusted.
• Saddle and seatpost tight.
• Seatpost greased *make sure to re-grease every 6 months!
• Tubes installed.
• Cassette tight.
Customer Reviews
Disclosure, I do ride for Chromag, and this is a bike I've been keen to develop for a number of years, so it stands to reason I really like it!
I’ve been riding the Signature frame in various iterations for over a year now, and it’s truly impressed me. The most noticeable feature is its incredibly lightweight and agile design.
Whether you’re charging through some of the world’s biggest slope courses or just jibbing around your local dirt jumps, this frame does it all.
The stiffness provides excellent stability on big jumps, while the lightweight alloy tubing keeps it responsive and nimble for those smaller tricks.
All in all, it’s a frame that strikes the perfect balance between performance and versatility—definitely a favorite of mine.
The new Signature is such an amazing feeling frame. The extra stiffness of aluminium is confidence inspiring when landing hard and pumping for speed, the agility and responsiveness helps you keep complete control when riding more technical or tight jumps/features and the lighter weight feels much easier to maneuver.
I have been blown away with how good the Signature feels since my first ride.
